I just thought this was cool and wanted to share it here. It looks like there's an instance up now, go add stuff to it if you can!

Love the idea, unfortunately it relies on cdn.jsdelivr.net to work so I won't use it. It also is trying to access the server: analytics.eu.umami.is to view. I can see the 3dprint.social website, but not any images. I personally never use a website that requires a 3rd party connection to any server that could be accessed by other websites. The standardization of this practice is none of my concern, but it is wrong on many levels of ethics and big picture politics that ultimately impact democracy. Specifically, I may decide to trust your server, but I will never give you agency, real or potential, over me and implicitly trust others as a result of that relationship. Anyways, that is my personal choice, speaking as a user, but as a Mod: also why I'm not going to directly promote this site as it is configured currently. This is no different than my stance on Printables or Thingiverse.

these projects just need help. if you find their code repo or matrix or workspace they are often very receptive to specific feedback like this.

open an issue as next step. your critique is valid but critique is only so helpful when you're a small dev team trying to do ambitious things. would rather see merge requests.
